Oct. 8th, 2017 05:37 pm I put this on Tumblr but I'll put it here too:
Me whenever someone says Dazai’s true character was his Mafia character: Kay but then why did Oda even think that Dazai could succeed on the side of saving people, given that Oda knew him really well. Also Dazai was an emo teenager at that age and half the stuff he said he’d probably cringe at now. Darker =\= true character. I imagine Dazai put on a lot of masks back then, too, and either way it’s a really bleak look at a series about redemption to think that one of the characters who’s tried to become a good man hasn’t changed a bit and his true nature is to always be a hopeless man who craves death and violence.
